I still wish I had bought one years ago. At 78 with heart disease it is probably too late now. Because of these videos I can still enjoy watching and learning videos such as this one. Thank you, Sir.
Many years ago now back in 2005 my dad brought home a Mamod traction engine that he had got from a model shop in Phymouth Devon and he told Me and my Brother that he had brought it as a special birthday gift for our Grandad's 65th birthday and i fondly remember Dad helping my Grandad steam it up for the first time after my Grandma had read the instructions.
our Grandad steamed the engine two possibly three more times after the first steaming but sadly he was not interested in steam engines so he gave the Mamod traction engine to me despite me being 8 years old at the time and after we moved to France me and my brother had great fun steaming Grandad's engine under instruction from our mum.
17 years on i have still got this engine and it recently has been repaired by a friend of ours who is a retired engineer who we known for some time.
Hi : news about ceramic burners my home made burners works good on Mamods trackors and cars also runs the Mamods wagon , working 0n a ceramic burner for the Pride of Penrhyn {2:}, more work on a 2" Cayton wagon . the ceramic burner are a hotter flame some 200 degrees over tablets or other buners. well this 80 year old going to bed, take care, great shows...
I like the look of any model steam engine that shows evidence of usage, it makes them look more realistic as full size engines would only be touched up here and there to prevent rust.
Another great video. When I remove axle caps I use a watchmaker's trick for removing hands, and that is to use a material like zip lock bags to cushion between the tools and wheel. Prevents scratching.
I've recently refurbished and recommissioned my old TE1a. It must be more than 55 years old now. I had to completely dismantle it as the little motor had seized. But it freed up easily enough.
It now fascinates my grandchildren.
My Dada bought bothmy Brother and me a TE1, I still have mine used but untouched. mine does not have a reverse lever so not sure why yours has my rubber grommets have perished after 55 odd years. Sadly I have over the years mislaid the steering rod .Ihope to hand it over to my granson. good work chap. glad to see them still bein used.. Im not an enginer so do not fully undersstand some of your terms but thank you.
Great, interesting job!
Looking good now to when you first had it. My partner have bought me a te1a and a sr1a for Christmas looking at the photos I have some money to spend on them bits missing and they look a little rough but will be my first project regarding steam so feeling like a little kid again getting excited for christmas to come now. Thanks keith videos on this one will help me out I think. take care stay safe keith
Love the speeded-up clip of paint drying 😂
You should do the sr1 next.
No point really as they are almost identical to the TE1.
Good morning I have the steam roller but it’s leaking from the water gauge glass best way to reattach seal as it’s a new seal
Try a a very thin smear of silicone rubber on both sides of the seal then refit it.
@@keithappleton much appreciated
could someone up date one of the later Mamod traction engines?
